'The "Uniates" and the Invention of Eastern Orthodoxy', Dr Yuri AvvakumovThe Annual Cambridge Lecture in Medieval and Early Modern Slavonic Studies was launched in 2016 to examine key questions of early Slavonic Studies, with a particular focus on the lands of present-day Ukraine. It features leading scholars who study the ever-changing cultural landscape of the Ukrainian lands and the varied composition and character of their inhabitants from the medieval period to the late eighteenth century.
In line with current trends in scholarship, the series moves beyond deep-rooted national paradigms and adopts a transnational approach to the study of the Rus and Ruthenian past and to the early modern history of Ukraine and its neighbours. It casts Ukraine as a multifocal centre for the formulation and transformation of political notions, social paradigms and cultural identities.
In March 2017, the Second Annual Lecture was delivered by Dr Yury Avvakumov, Assistant Professor of Theology, University of Notre Dame. His topic was 'The “Uniates” and the Invention of Eastern Orthodoxy: Late Byzantine and Kyivan Advocates of Church Union in the Crossfire between Rome, Constantinople, and Moscow'.
Prior to joining the Department of Theology at Notre Dame University, Dr Avvakumov taught at the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv where he taught Historical Theology before becoming the Rev. Basil Galyarnyk Professor of History, Dean of the Humanities Faculty and Founding Director of the Classical, Byzantine and Medieval Studies Department (2003-2009). He also was Visiting Professor in Church Slavonic at the Ukrainian Free University (2002-2007), Munich, and Lecturer in Latin and Greek language and Patristic literature in the Russian Orthodox Theological Seminary and Academy in Leningrad (1984-1991).Wed, 12 Apr 2017 16:37:11 +0100Yuri Avvakumov,Eastern rite,Eastern Orthodoxy,Ukrainian Catholic Church,Cambridge Ukrainian StudiesUniversity of CambridgeR.E.

Jaresko -- Ukraine's former Finance Minister (2014-2016) -- delivers the Fifteenth Annual Cambridge Stasiuk Lecture in Contemporary Ukrainian Studies. Her presentation at Robinson College, Cambridge on 24 February 2017 was entitled 'Ukraine in Transition'.It has been twenty five years since Ukraine regained its independence, and the transition to democracy, rule of law and a competitive market economy is still underway.
The last three years have seen more reform than the previous twenty, but much remains to be done to improve real wages, boost domestic and foreign investment, and enhance health and education services in Ukraine. Which reforms are key to the country's future? Is the reform process irreversible? What are the risks to reform, both domestically and internationally? On Friday, 24 February 2017, Natalie A. Jaresko addressed these questions and more in the Fifteenth Annual Cambridge Stasiuk Lecture in Contemporary Ukrainian Studies.
Natalie A. Jaresko is the former Finance Minister of Ukraine (2014-2016); Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Aspen Institute Kyiv; Nonresident Distinguished Senior Fellow, Atlantic Council; and member of the World Economic Forum Global Future Council on Financial and Monetary Systems.
Ms Jaresko has enjoyed a distinguished international career in public service and private industry. As Ukraine’s Finance Minister (2014-16), she served at a particularly critical moment when the post-revolutionary state was rocked by deep recession and war on part of its territory. During her tenure she led the successful negotiation of the largest IMF program in the institution’s history as well as a complex debt restructuring. Her government’s success in restoring macroeconomic stability enabled the creation of a broad international financial coalition to support Ukraine’s transition. She led the reduction of public spending, cutting the deficit by more than 75% to 2.1% of GDP in 2015. She also advanced tax reform resulting in an almost 50% reduction in payroll tax, eliminated tax privileges which favored vested interests, implemented a transparent e-data system placing all treasury transactions online in real time, and initiated corporate governance reform in state-owned banks. Previously, she spent two decades working as co-founder and CEO of Horizon Capital, a fund with over $600 million under management, and as Western NIS Enterprise Fund President and CEO, creating a platform for private equity investment in the region. She began her career in public service in the United States, serving in the State Department from 1989-92 and as Economic Section Chief of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine from 1992-95.
Initiated in 2003, the Annual Stasiuk Lecture in Contemporary Ukrainian Studies at the University of Cambridge explores the internal dynamics and international implications of events in today's Ukraine and features the foremost experts in the fields of Ukrainian politics, history, and society. It is organised by Cambridge Ukrainian Studies, an academic centre in the Department of Slavonic Studies, University of Cambridge.2017-04-13T13:52:38+01:0054002460180true4x3falsenoOdessa in a Time of Revolution, War and Reformucs_sms_744201_2170565http://sms.cam.ac.uk/media/2170565

This interplay has been called by some a Memory War. Recently Cambridge Ukrainian Studies -- in partnership with the Cambridge-based research project Memory at War: Cultural Dynamics in Poland, Russia, and Ukraine -- invited Professor Timothy Snyder of Yale University to make sense of this Memory War from a broad conceptual, geographical, and historical perspective.
Timothy Snyder is Professor of History at Yale and the author of such prize-winning publications as The Reconstruction of Nations: Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus, 1569-1999, published by Yale in 2003, and The Red Prince: The Secret Lives of a Habsburg Archduke, published by Basic Books/Random House in 2008. His most recent book Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin, published by Basic Books/Bodley Head in 2010, has been named to over 10 Book of the Year lists.

Highlights from the presentations:
'The main problem of German public discourse about Ukraine is that the country is portrayed, analysed and perceived only as an object... It is very difficult to find discourse casting Ukraine as a subject of its own story… This attitude is grounded in the Germany memory of the Second World War, which includes Russia but excludes Ukraine. In fact, Germans are often surprised to know that Germany occupied the entire Ukraine twice in the twentieth century.'
'There is a French intellectual tradition that plays in favour of Russian propaganda. Two factors are active here: the first is anti-Americanism… French public opinion is sometimes influenced by the logic of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend", and the enemy of the United States is Russia. As the famous historian Tony Judt put it with reference to the French Left of the 1940s and 1950s, "the overwhelming majority of writers, artists, teachers, and journalists were not for Stalin: they were against Truman. They were not for labor camps, they were against colonialism." And now we can say that the French intellectual community sometimes is not so much for Putin, but against Obama. The other factor is anti-Europeanism.’
'What I am seeing now in Russia media coverage are three basic methods of portraying Ukraine: the first is the creation of the myth that Ukraine equals chaos. In Russian, for instance, we can use several words to denote 'uprising'; you can use ‘volneniia', you can use ‘besporiadki'… President Putin has used ‘pogromy' repeatedly and extensively in his remarks, because ‘pogromy' makes us feel very uncomfortable. The second is what journalists call the creation of a frightening alternative [to what prevails in Russia], which in this case is meant to be ‘fascism’... The third method is dehumanisation.'2014-12-29T22:31:47+00:0026341875108true4x3falsenoUkraine as an Object of Western Journalismucs_sms_744201_1847693http://sms.cam.ac.uk/media/1847693

Highlights from the discussion:
'That's the main thing I learned [over the past months]: that there is no clear East-West divide [in Ukraine], in my view. It's artificial, and I've had to learn that the hard way.'
'What I've learned from years working in Ukraine... is that the idea of language as a major political topic didn't exist. You couldn't mobilize people around it.'
'One of the mistakes we've made is hyping up the [story of] the [Ukrainian] far right. A lot of us really misrepresented that element in the conflict.'
'We keep falling into the trap' of Kremlin disinformation.
As journalists, 'we are supposed to go the country, see what's happening, and then tell people about it. It's that simple. We're not on a mission to take down the Russian propaganda machine or to build up a Ukrainian propaganda machine. As reporters we are supposed to do our job. The rest is not our responsibility.'
'This is a difficult story to cover. I've been in Ukraine for a year, and I've basically watched the country being taken over by another one.'
'People should be asking about Ukraine as a thing itself, not just as some reflection of a terrible conflict.'2014-11-16T01:39:40+00:0057001847693true4x3falsenoUkraine in Crisis: A Public Briefingucs_sms_744201_1643179http://sms.cam.ac.uk/media/1643179
